the smallest ive used was a 2.5mm for the bolt on rockshox fork that holds the brake hose in place with the little clamp.
I have seen smaller on fine electronics, so maybe Ebike related? Otherwise it looks like it would strip or break very easily

Whatever it fits in to.

It’s a 1.5? I haven’t used them much, the main one I think of is the grub screw on a futureshock 3.0 adjuster knob. Anything that small is such a pain in the ass, rounds out so easily
Edit: Just saw its 0.7, I’ve never seen one on a bike

Keep it. I have some very small hexes that I’ve gotten in kits and occasionally I find a need for one that only that kit has. Beats running out to try to find the size you’re looking for in some kit from a hardware store.

Looks like it would pair well with the #80 drill bits I have in my tool box. (#80 = 0.0135 inches)

This could be the size for a White Industries M30 or R30 bottom bracket adjustment ring. I remember feeling like the hex would break if I tightened too much.
